How delivery works in Bordon

Bulk bags are usually lifted off by crane where access allows; tell us where they can sit and whether the ground is firm. Bordon is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

  • Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
  • Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
  • For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
